I was playing latest SVN release and encountered interesting thing. My soldier dropped sniper rifle to use mini-shotgun (close quarters), after turn ended, nearby civilian came and picked up sniper rifle. I thought "cool, civilians are gonna help me fight aliens", but then during another turn civilian shot my solder. To be sure I waited another turn and then that same civilian killed my wounded soldier. How come? Are civilians being under mind control or they just picked alien side?
Also, in the same mission, when all but one soldiers died, last one with morale at about 10 decided to use his reaction TUs to hide behind civilian. I thought it was funny
